Yet another case where there was no actual victim. No actual child. It was just ‘law enforcement’ pretending to be minors (not children, either, just teenagers, and only in some cases, it seems) and talking with men, and when they arranged to meet at some place which, they officers say, is a place where illegal activity would take place, they were assumed to have committed a crime and they were raided. Reportedly, this ‘operation’ involved 9 different law enforcement agencies, coordinating.
Probably these cases are preferred, when there is no actual person, because if there is, people have to deal with that person's side of the events also, and their personality, and their attachment or desire or intentions. If the ‘victim’ is ficticious, it can be a very innocent and perfect ‘victim.’
